@@mmnmaths6206 will respond to you reply again once I finish reading the novel. 😉
And he is an old boy of our school, St Thomas preparatory school,. Kollupitiya
Whar I don't really understand is why they are interrupting his speech all the time. He is the winner, give him all the time he wants!
as a 15 year old gay reading this book, with a dad who was in the war- i am just, i have no words, THANK YOUUUU shehan karunatilaka, i know i wasn't born early enough to understand the war, but this is just amazing
As a sri lankan my dream is to follow his footsteps. I know im still young and I know I don't even know about him that much... but my dream is to be like Shehan karunatilaka sir. Yo win this award just like him
So finally we've the second Sri Lankan author to win the prize 🏆 congratulations sir 🎉
What a ray of sunshine during this gloomy storm we Sri Lankans currently passing! A new era of Srilankan literature ❤️ congratulations Shehan, as a reader i cant wait to get my hands on this!!
Every year sri lankan English literature is expanding with more new writers. Last year we had Anouk Arudpragasam a Sri Lankan in the shortlist for the Booker Prize. This year we have a winner! And Onddatje was recently nominated for the Booker for the second time with his novel Warlight and Romesh gunasekara was shortlisted for Reef many years ago. And of course it goes without saying the prestige Ondaatje's The English Pateint brought to SL English literature. And we will have more faces and more victories, no doubt!
My dearly congratulations to u Shehan.!!
I read this while it was still Chats with the Dead. I remember wondering why this hasn’t won a prize yet. A year later .. it did! 🔥🔥

The last part of the acceptance speech was amazing. Thank you for boosting the spirit of Sri Lankans and speaking in both languages. It was a pity the MC kept interrupting which maybe due to running out of time but still was rude and disturbed an important moment.
Exactly, how about leaving a little more extra time for the Booker winner to have his voice!

Congratulations Shehan,, Thanks for keeping Sri Lanka up in the global audience...
Finally a deserved person got it ! It was brewing, anticipation to many since 2010 and now a reality.
A great achievement for a Sri Lankan, least to say the second.
Sad, the mother tongue speaking Sri Lankan media is nowhere and wonder they know him or the prestigious accolade.
A well deserved win!
Wonderful ideas and disclosures of the author on Sri Lankan greedy politicians

I tuned in late but seeing this man interrupted during his speech was upsetting. Having listened to the continuous droning of the judge and chairperson (?) with the announcement of the shortlist, I’m shocked that the WINNER of the prize was not allotted the time he needed to complete his acceptance speech. Shameful.
Yes, they were dominating.
Agree,cutting off the winner totally ridiculous
Thank you Shehan. Congratulations !!

Excellent achivement...........❤❤❤❤❤
Wow.. Proud moment
Congratulations Shehan Karunatilaka!
Shehan Karunatilaka said as he accepted his prize: "My hope is that in the not too distant future... Sri Lanka has understood that these ideas of corruption, race-baiting and cronyism have not worked and will never work”
Sri-Lanka is bankrupt because of endemic corruption, cronyism, race-baiting and violence!
There have been numerous race riots (against Tamils and Muslims) in Sri-Lanka, for example in 1915, 1958, 1977, 1981, 1983 and 2019.
It is worth noting that Ranil Wickremesinghe (the current president) served as a senior minister in several governments since 1977.
The race riots of 1977, 1981 and 1983 were organized by JR Jayawardena’s government.
Ranil Wickremesinghe is a nephew of JR Jayawardena!
In 1981, Jaffna library was burned down. The goons were led by Cyril Mathew, who was a minister in Jayawardena’s government.
Cyril Mathew was widely regarded as one of the key ministers responsible for instigating the anti-Tamil pogrom of July 1983, which subsequently resulted in the outbreak of a 26-year civil war.
In 2004, the former President Chandrika Kumaratunga gave a public apology to Tamils for Black July (the 1983 riots), likening it to Nazism.
Recently, Ranil Wickremesinghe’s private house was burned down in Colombo. He complained that more than 2,500 books were destroyed!
What goes around comes around!
Well said 👍👍👍👍
Congratulations.
සුබ පැතුම්. ආඩම්බරයි ශෙහාන්. තෙරුවන් සරණයි 🙏🏽
Congratulations sir
Really proud of you
Congratulations!!! 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
I couldn't be more proud to be Sri Lankan, today.
Congratulations to you.... proud of you ❤
